Parents meeting - Hamburg, the sound of a (multi)cultural city

  • Back home from the 3rd students meeting in Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven, Italian students met families and friends at school to present the meeting outputs and results and to introduce the second year activities of the project. School headmaster hosted the meeting together with the project coordinator.

                           

    A general overview of the two-year project was presented by students, as well as a slideshow created with the pictures collected together with the German partners during the visit to Hamburg. Also a video shot during the meeting, entitled “Erasmus for us”, was shown to the audience in order to share students’ thoughts and feelings about the projects.

                      

                                    

    The main feature of the meeting was a new mean of expression: podcast, projected in binational teams in Wilhelmshaven. Students collected sounds and impressions while visiting Hamburg and living different cultural experiences and afterwards transformed them into written texts, composed at first in English.

    Once back home, Italian students translated the texts in their mother tongue and chose the best audio files to complement them, in order to offer a fresh impression of the "multicultural" city.

    The recordings, voices and sounds, were presented in the dark - only a colorful slide with the title of the episode to lead the audience attention - with an unusual and fascinating effect.
